Historic Manitou Springs

Historic Manitou Springs landmark sees restoration, history behind the Wheeler Town Clock

🚃 The Historic Manitou Springs Incline (Manitou Springs, Colorado). Long before the Manitou Springs Incline became the premier test piece for one's fitness level, it tested one's nerves via descending steeply down the side of Manitou Mountain. Operating since 1908, the Manitou Incline created smiles and memories until closing in 1990. In 2013, the Incline became legal for public use...and people have been hiking the former railway ever since. The route ascends ~2,000 feet in less than 1-mile...
